Governor Beaver is a firm believer in the
doctrine that the farmer's lot is a happy one.
He gives, in the following article, a number
of reasons for thinking that Pennsylvania
ngricnlture is profitable. Professor Bolles,
on the other hand, who has taken much
pains to investigate the subject, finds that
the farming industry of the State is genearlly
depressed.
IPEOM A STA T CORRESPOfDEXT.
Wellsboeo, June 15. GovernorBeaver
is an optimist His views on the vexed
agricultural problem remind me of that old
Grecian myth abont Pandora's box. This
nil-endowed woman, Pandora, possessed a
vessel or box filled with winged blessings,
which mankind would have continued to
enjoy if curiosity had sot prompted her to
open it, when all the blessings flew out, ex
cept hope.
In one of the prettiest discussions I ever
listened to I heard the Governor state bis
roseate opinions of the life of a Pennsylva
nia farmer. He believes that farming in
these days pays. As a soothsayer, ho pro
fesses to see the silver lining to the cloud
about the grange. Many of the farmers
themselves, who are unable to catch a
glimpse of that airy fringe, now regard His
Excellency as as oracle.
jl iut.A Change Advised.
It was at one of the meetings of the Stato
Board of Agriculture in this town last week.
The Governor was in the chair. A paper
-was being read by Mr. Eastburn Seeder, a
Bucks connty farmer, on the subject, "What
Shall We Do "With Our Land?" As it is so
much easier in this ace to keep the lands of
the new West in a higher state of cultiva
tion than the lands of the older East, the
title of the essay seemed significant. By
use of importation statistics, Mr. Beeder
showed in what lines of farm produce there
is an overproduction, and in what articles
there is not. He concluded that the Amer
ican farmers are not raising enough pota
toes, or horses, or dairy products, or vegeta
bles. "Wheat, corn and oats we can no longer
raise in Pennsylvania for sale at present
prices," be said. "These should all be fed
ou the larms and converted into more perish
able products for which the competition
cannot be so great, and where the profits
will be surer.
The Frofltablc Products.
"We should devote our land here in this
State to the raising of more produce, some
of the vegetables, dairy products, eggs and
milk, horses and cattle. Hay, on account
of its bnlky nature, can still be raised at
profit. The average productive value of
land in Pennsylvania is less than 10 an
acre; or, in other words, a 100-acre farm here
will not usually raise more than 1,000 worth
of products, and with that a farmer cannot
live like other people. If the output should
be doubled it would be not more than suffi
cient to support the farmer and his family
comfortably. I have found that a mixed
system of fanning, such as I advise in the
foregoing, will produce $20 an acre often.
Tret how have I fared at this maximum
of cultivation? I have just prepared a lit
tle statement of my receipts and expendi
tures for a year, in order to be ready for the
census enumerator when he comes aronnd.
Here it is:
A Farmer's Actonl Receipts.
"In the line of dairy products, I raised in
the past year cream, new milk, skim milk,
cheese, butter, and butter milk to the value
of $1,459 26. Of this amount I sold 51,322
worth.
"I raised garden products, hay, poultry,
eggs, potatoes, live stock and orchard fruits
to the value of $1,437 90, and sold $876 70
worth.
'liaising 320 bushels of grain, worth $246,
I sold $228 80 worth; 750 bushels of corn,
worth $300, sold none; 680 bushels of oats,
worth $204, sold none; cut $115 46 worth of
timber and sold it at that fiirure.
"This made a total of $3,772 62 woith of
products raised, and $2,542 36 received in
money for that which I sold. Aslonly had
a balance of $154 leit at the end of the year,
I looked aronnd to find what had become of
all the money. Here was what my expenses
had been:
His Heavy Expenses.
Paid for labor. : S 600
Board of hands 300

New Implements S00
Flour and bran . 300
Taxes 100
Mechanics' bills 150
.Lumber and hardware 250
Drygoodsand groceries 100

Total $2,400
"Suppose another farmer in my position
would have had to pay $300 or $400 interest
on a mortgage and notes, where would he
have been at the end of the year?
"My farm is 130 acres. Its assessed
value is $60 per acre, or $7,800. This state
ment of ay actual receipts and expenses
B
shows these things, vis: First, that at the
present price of farm products labor is too
high. Second, that too much is invested in
farm machinery. Third, too much is ex
pended in building and repairs. Fourth,
if the farmer is in debt and has interest to
pay, it will be all that he can do to make
ends meet"
Tbe Governor's Arithmetic.
Several gentlemen made remarks upon
Mr. Seeder's statements, all seeming to
think that he had sized the average farmer's
financial condition about right.
Governor Beaver, however, said: "I think
a wrong impression has been taken from
Mr. Beeder's paper. It seems to me the
figures he gives make a decidedly favorable
showing, for where he appears to have only
had a balance oi $154 on hand, he actually
had more of a profit. Tbe difference be
tween the worth of tbe products he raised
and tbe amount of cash received for what
be sold represents what went into the living
expenses of the honsehold of the gentleman,
or over $1,200. That much therefore should
be put down as tbe amount of his income,
and not the mere cash balance of $154. Mr.
Iteeder has been able to keep a family of
ten persons in very comfortable circum
stances. They h ave wanted lor nothing.
Popular Mistakes Pointed Out.
"The trouble with the most of farmers is,"
continued the Governor, "that they do not
count as profit anything that goes to keep
them and their children. It is only after
that they begin to calculate profits. Be
cause they do not have to bny this and that
thing for their table, they fail to estimate it
by dollars and cents of that much good for
tune. They seem to forget that they have a
house free of rent, surrounded by ample
grounds, flowers and shrubbery. In the city
all of that has to be paid for at a very high
rate, and then a man counts himself lucky
who has a 10x12 yard attached to his six
roomed house. For such a house he pays as
much as would probably pay the current
expenses of Mr. .Seeder's whole family for a
year. In the city everything must be bought
milk, potatoes, strawberries and all. In'
his estimate, Mr. Beeder did not put these
things down on a cash basis as so much of
his annual income. -j " '
His Actual Income. -"The
very fact that he was able 'to sup
port a family of ten in a house free of rent,
and at the bountifully supplied table which
his financial exhibit indicates, shows that
he has actually had more substantial profits
than his mere cash balance shows. A me
chanic, clerk or capitalist's income is
usually put down at tbe entire amount of
money he received not what was? left over
after he pays house-rents and current ex
penses. And when a farmer Wishes to com
pare his income with that of these classes
he should do it on the came hasisv In real
ity, Mr. Beeder's exhibit does show exactly
what he received in both products and
monev, but the impression appears to be
that all that he has made clear in the year
is $154, whereas it was about $1,800. Think
of this, gentlemen, and you must conclude
that at the end of a year 70a do not come
out so bad after all."
J. K. Herr (a Clinton county farmer)
But, Governor, you.can't begin to compare
Mr. Beeder with the average farmer. ' He is'
one farmer out of 90. I have visited at his1
house, and '
" ,
Farmers Can -Entertain. k
Tbe Governor And he did not have to
, charge jou,for., jxinr.entertainmsdLJjThBre.
is another item that s not la the gross profits
of Mr. Beeder's statement. He has plenty
with which to entertain his friends royally.
You count it so advantage for him to have
the time, the means and money to drive tbe
members of this board all over Bucks coun
ty when we met there, and not be under the
painful necessity of charging you for it?
Where is the city family able to entertain
like that? It would cost them twice as
much to do it.
Mr. Herr Yet, not every farmer is able
to do it as Mr. Beeder. I have been at his
place, and I know that he has a practice
with his farm of producing well, and turn
ing into money its products, which few
farmers can equal. He is a scientific farmer,
and his thorough method of bookkeeping
shows him to be such. But with all his
talent, thoroughness and watchfulness he
lias been unable to show more than $150
balance. I claim that that $150 is all the
real profit he had as tbe earnings of his in
vestment of $7,000 in a farm; for he has put
down nothing as wages for himself or family.
An Item Tbnt Won Overlooked.
What was their labor worth? Evervthing
that went into living expenses should be
counted merely as wages of labor, and not
the earnings of that $7,000 investment.
Thcrclore. it a man of Mr. Beeder's caliber
came out with so little to spare, where will
you find the vast majority of poorer farmers
in Pennsylvania at the end of tbe year? I'll
venture the assertion that every fourth
farmer in the State has no profits to show.
The Governor That depends on the way
you look at the word profits.
It. E. Searles (a Susquehanna farmer) I
suppose Mr. Beeder and his family are like
a good many more of us farmers these days.
He wantB to live well aud does live well
The Governor That's right, too.
ot a Correct Showing.
Mr. Searles Yes, that is right We have
a right to live as well as any other man.
But he snould have kept his books like the
books of a foundry or shop are kept. They
would then have shown what tins farm of
an assessed valuation of $7,000, which is
probably only assessed at three-fourths of its
real value, had realized in interest how
much each dollar invested in that land had
earned in interest And it would have
shown how much the labor of Mr. Beeder
and the members of his lamily was worth.
Then, we would have seen how little he got
for both interest and labor. I notice he said
nothing in his statement about what the
amount of wear and tear of old machinery
amounted to.
The Governor Yes, but he put down at
$300 new machinery, which you must not
forget will last him 15 years. That will off
set the item you speak of. He has put down
$300 for the board of farm hands. That all
went back into the family, it the hands
boarded with him. So, there again, is the
earning capacity of farm products as food
demonstrated, where it is all pnt down as
expenses.
Boardlns Farm Hands,
As $300 for the board of laborers averaged
just 25 cents per dav, William B. Powell
asked, as an offset to General Beaver's ob
servation, whether Mr. Beeder could afford
to board men at 25 cents per day? Mr.
Beeder replied that he could where he made
the men do it themselves, that is to say, he
paid them $1 25 per dav, they to board them
selves, or else he paid them $1 per day and
board. Secretary Edge said that returns re
ceived by the board from different sections
of the State showed that the board of farm
hands averaged from 20 to 40 cents per day
all over the State.
J. A. Gundy, Ca Union conntv farmer
We should compare Mr. Beeder as a farmer
with Mr. Beeder as a professional man. As
a farmer be has shown himself to be first
class far beyond the average. He is scien
tific and methodical in working out the best
results from his farm. Now, go to Wash
ington, and see the professional man in the
Government departments, or to a mercantile
city, and see
The Professional Sinn
behind the counter. Where are any of
them who display tbe rame science, ability
and method as Mr. Beeder does in his busi
ness, but can command tbe highest salaries
paid. So that you must conclude Mr.
Beeder's talented labor is worth something.
His labor sad that oi .his family is worth in
wages $500 a year If it is worth anything,
and that figure is miserably out of propor
tion to the wages paid provisional men or
artlianu
lfow, if I wanted to buy Mr. Beeder's
farm right here, I couldn't get it for a cent
less than $100 per acre, In spite of the
Assessor's valuation. Compute the interest
upon the $13,000 whioh I hold Mr. Beeder's
investment to be wortb, compute it at the
same rate paying on investments in other
industries, and, sir, I declare that if Mr.
Beeder lay on tbe flat of his back all the
year be is entitled to $1,-200 in money in
stead of $150. This is the true way to find
out whether a man In Mr. Beeder's position
is earning profits.
Able to Kdncato Children.
It having been stated that Mr. Beeder
had 0 family of ten in his house, Mr. Pow
ell started to estimate the value of the labor
of the oldest members. He first asked what
Mr, Beeder valued the services of his wife
at That gentleman replied $300. The
questions being continued, Mr. Beeder ex
plained: "When the census enumerator
comes around to my farm he will find a pe
culiar family. Living with us are both my
patents and their oldest daughter. One
ot my parents is 89 years old and
the other is 80. My sister is
aged also. So of course those three
members of my family do no work. I have
one daughter at school in New York learn
ing the profession of a nnrse. Another
daughter at home has already graduated
from that school of nurses. A son living
with us is a doctor. The working force at
home consists of myself and wife and the
balance of our family."
The Governor Ha I ha I ha 1 You see
it is all coming out 1 Here is a farmer whose
income has been well able to send his
children to city schools, as many other farm
ers aTe properly doing to'-day.
Try Mor Arnlcn.
Mr. Sisson (a farmer from .Lackawanna
county) This question of "What are we
going to do with our land?" reminds me of
the bad boy who strnck 0 woman on the
street one day with a stone. The missile cut
a gash over the lady's eye. She hunted up
the mother ot the lad and, showing her the
cut, said ( "See what your boy has done."
The poor mother looked at tbe wound a little
while and then said : "Poor woman, I pity
vou, for he struck me the other day, too.
See here, the black eye I have." "But
wbat are you going to do about this ?" in
quired the incensed visitor. "I don't know.V
quoth the mother,, "but they say arnica is
good for cuts. Suppose you put on more
arnica."
"And bo about land. I say put on more
arnica, and go ahead just about the way
you have been doing. There is, no doubt,
truth in the assertion that a farmer has
many things which city people have not
What would we farmers think of having to
buy and pav cash for the straw to sleep on?
They do it in cities. Straw is as free as the
air among us.
Money Not Everything.
"And then the other pleasures we have in
the 'free aud open country. You can't be
gin to estimate a farmer s profits only in
dollars and cents."
Governor Beaver No, gentlemen, it is
the truth, as Mr. Sis-son states it: Xife is not
ail made up of dollars and cents. I thought
while listening to Mr. Beeder bf that in
junction, "Honor "thy father and thy moth
er, that thy days may be long in the land
which he Lord, thy God, tfiveth thee."
What must be the full satisfaction that Mr.
Beeder feels at being' able' to support his
ageoj .parents, and have them with him in
his own house. No amount of cash balance
could bny from him that satisfaction.

rFrECIJLL TELEORAst TO TUB DISPATCH.!
Habeisbtjbo, June 15. Prof. Bolles,
Chief of the Bureau of Industrial Statistics,
addressed 31 questions to granges and farm
ers in Pennsylvania to ascertain the condi
tion of the farming interests and to obtain
practical suggestions on agricultural sub
jects, and has received replies from a fair
proportion of those to whom they were sub
mitted. In his annual report he says the
information returned generally admits de
pression in the farming indastry, every
conntv making report to that eflect All
counties do not suffer in the same degree,
but none have escaped it. The investiga
tion prosecuted by him began before the
meeting of the State Grange, and received
the indorsement of that association. Six
hundred local granges were furnished the
interrogatories to wtoich reference has been
made, and they made it their business to
give as wide a circuiatfon to them as seemed
justified by the information desired.
Professor Bolles stites under the head of
"Farming and Farm Values" that the most
potent cause of the depression is over-pro-dnction
and adds:
It i true tbat millions are living on insuffi
cient food, and t'.iereforo ono may ask, does a
surplus really exlstr The reply is quite conclu
sive. The producers of food can hardly afford
to give any considerable portion away had tbey
the disposition, and those in need of food have
no means to bny more. Leaving them out of
view the facts clearly provo that a surplus of
food products exists for those who have the
means to pay for them. It may be that it soci
ety was readjusted, so that all who are without
employment could find It and be paid for their

consumed and the depression from which
farmers are now suffering would pass awav.
Most of the depression! In Industry have been
inconsequence of a misapplication of human
effort and this which has npw overtaken tho
farmers is not different from any other. With
the "eneral introduction and use of labor-savins
implements, and the tilling of vast quanti
ties of fertile land, which has been rendered
accessible by" the railroads, more wheat and
corn and cattle have been raised than wero
needed for oar own use. while farmers in other
countries of late years have been putting forth
new efforts to supply tbeir own markets, and
so it happens that the market for the country's
surplus product is diminishing and is likely to
diminish even more as other countries improve
tbeir methods of agriculture and thus are bet
ter able to supply their own inhabitants.
Greatly Increased Production.
Statistics are here introduced showing
that the products of corn in bushels have
been increased lrom 592,000,000 in 1849 to
2 000 000,000 in 1889, wheat from 100,000,000
bushels to 500,000,000, and oats from 140,
000 000 to 700,000,000 bushels, while hay and
potatoes have increased in similar propor
tions. Chief Bolles says:
The Increase in population, though wonder
ful has fallen far short of tbe same proportion,
clearly, therefore, unless an enlarged marset
could bo found for tho surplus, depression, re
sulting from excessive competition, was sura
to follow. Wbat has stimulated this enormous
increase? Cbeapland. improvedtransportation
facilities and the introdnctlon of labor-saving
machinery. Nothlnp need be said concerning
tho enormous quantities or land In tbe United
States that have been used for farming pur
poses during the last 100 years. With such
wonderful instrumentalities in producing
and transporting wheat and preparing it for
consumption tho labor of supplying the
world with wheat has greatly dimin
ished, notwithstanding the quality of
labor engaged in producing it has been rapidly
increasing. The inevitable consequence is a
large surplus. It this be true, the remedy is
evident produce less. In truth, less will be
produced. Many will voluntarily abandon
wheat raising or will be forced to do so. Those
who can produce at the least cost will continue
in the field, and who they are is the great ques
tion of tbe immediate future. What we have
said with respect to wheat raising applies to
that of raising corn and other products and
cattle. A Eurplus has been raised and the pro
ducers are competing with each other for a
market But this is not a complete explana
tion. The power of ihe middle man and of
capital is also an Important fact It! Is well
known that the price of live stock In the West

Others think it would destroy good cam
paign metal without an adequate return: 4
'PROM A STATP CORRESPONDENT.!
Washington, June 15. One feature ot
the work of Congress that has attracted fl
good deal of attention among the moral
tnougntiai memoers 01 iuc uuuy (ivinj
who may be called students and analysts
of affairs, is the treatment of the question of
a Federal election law, whose operationrnay
possibly give to 1,000,000 voters who have
been continually disfranchised for a quar
ter of a century the privilege of exercising
their constitutional rights at the polls. To
say the least, it is the opinion of these calm
observers that this question has been consid
ered in a deliberate, not to say dilatory,
manner.
Afterthe lapse of more than six. months
of ihe session the House of Bepresentatlves
appears tf). be just pelting Interested in thev
question, and yetit involves a principle of
tar more vital .interest to me jtepuaucaus
than the tariff; or rivers and harbors, or
public buildings, or any other measure be
fore Congress. The Senate has done noth
ing but wait upon the House.
AN AMBITIOUS INDIVIDUAIm
Henry Cabot Lodge was appointed chair
of the Committee on Election of President
and Vice President at his own request that
he might Immortalise himself by drafting a
Federal election bill to tickle, not only the
old anti-Blavcry sentiment of New England,
but lovers of freedom and fair ploy the
world over. The new Congress had hardly
got its harness on when he produced his bill
in his committee, and after a brief consider
ation it was introdnqed to the House.
Of course it did not meet the approval of
Democrats. That was to be expected. But
unfortunately it met with objections from
Republicans. Some thought it was too far
reaching, and placed too much power in the
hands of Federal officials, others didn't want
Mr. Lodge to have all the glory, and so in
troduced bills of their own. Others quibbled
for other reasons. Between the conflicting
ambitions a composition has just been
effected, but no one can tell certainly when
the bill willi get right of way, or when
it will be passed, if passed at all.
And the Senate Bepublicans at their last
caucus, in a somewhat protracted discission
of the feasibility of passing such alaw, con
cluded that while. the law was just, right
eous and imperatively needed, it might pro.
Ion? the 'session too much to await the
tedious Uiscujsjon that would be inevitable;.
oeiore me uuy oi ius uuh;luibui cuuiu m
'reached.
THE REASON FOB IT.
The blunt explanation of this delay and
indifference and quibbling is that there aro
many influential Bcpublican members who
are not in favor of such a law. They do not
want the negro of the South enfranchised.
Southern Bepublicans do not want him en
franchised until they can organize a white
man's Bcpublican party of the South, and
by that time the votes of the negro will not
be wanted for that party any more than they
arc now for the Democratic party.
But the larger part of the indifferenqe
arises from the fact that the disfranchise
ment of the blacks is too good a campaign
card in tho North to lose. Even with Fed
eral supervision it is feared that the ex
slave drivers would devise some way of
bulldozing tbe negro into staying away
from the polls or voting the Democratic
ticket, and, therefore, that while the politi
cal situation would not be affected to any
appreciable extent, the argument ot tho
suppression of the vote would be swept
away.
The evidence given in the many contested
election cases from the South lias developed
a most astounding condition of aflairr, with
which tbe professional Bepublican cam
paigners are highly delighted. It is only
necessary to examine the election returns to
find how the vote of the South is suppressed,
and what a comparatively small voting
constituency the Southern members in Con
gress represent
A LITTLE COUPABISON.
Ko less than 25 of the Congressional dis
tricts of Pennsylvania give a larger vote for
each of the Congressmen representing them
than the entire vote cast by the State of
Georgia for the ten Congressmen from that
State, and several or the Pennsylvania dis
tricts cast nearly twice the vote, respec
tively, which was cast by Georgia for all of
her Congressmen. This comparison, carried
through all ot the Southern States, would
show a representation from that section
astoundtngly out of proportion to the vote.
Many of the Bcpublican members of Con
gress wonld prefer that the abuse suggested
by these figures and the developments in
contested clectidns cases should continue to
exist, and so furnish tremendous arguments
on the stump for the election of Bepubli
cans from the North rather than that justico
should be done to the negro, who is en
franchised only in name. This is the real
explanation ot the apathy that has attended
Federal election law legislation, and it is an
apathy that will probably delay and defeat
the bill decided upon, notwithstanding the
frequent eloquent denunciations by Be
publican members of both Houses of the
abuses that the law is intended to correct.

A DETEBMINKD EFF0ET
To Secure tbo Passneo ef a Bankruptcy
Bill This Session.
irEOMASTiJPCOnBESPOJrDINT.I
Washington, June 15. The Torrey
bankruptcy bill will probably be called up
for action by the House on Tuesday. Judge
Taylor, Chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee, has sent a personal letter to every Be
publican member inquiring whether they
intended to he present when the bill came
up for consideration, as in case of absence
he desired to arrange a pair. This precau
tion shows that an extra effort is to be made
at this Bession to pass a bankruptcy bill.
The Torrey hill is the outcome of many
years of study and really contains the best
features of every bankruptcy bill that has
been introduced in Congress for the past ten
years. No open opposition has been made
against the present measure, although an
abortive attempt was made to delay its con
sideration in committee.
The bill in brief was framed in the inter
ests of debtors and creditors alike, and is in
tended to simplify and render uniform
bankruptcy proceedings which, under ex
isting laws, work injustice to creditors, en
abling dishonest debtors to escape payment
of their just debts, but oppressive upon
honest men, who, paying all just claims
against themselves, are forced to compete in
business with others resorting to dishonesty,
It is said that an attempt will fee made when .
(he bill comes up to offer a substitute pro
viding that any person may file a petition
against himself, but his creditors, no mat
ter what may bo tbo nature of their claims,
cannot do so. It is not to be assumed, how
ever, that Congress will pats any law that
does not confer corresponding rights on both

A VOTE MAY BE REACHED ON THE 8IL
, VER BILL TO-DAY.
Exactly Wbat Kind of a Measure Will bo
fussed Is 61III Uoknovrn-A Variety of
Blatters Will Then 'Claim tbe Senate's
Attention.
Washington, June 15. Tho general
debate on the silver question is to close by
the present order of the Senate at 3 o'clock
Monday afternoon, and it is the prevalent
expectation that a vote will he reached be
foro adjournment on one or more of the
amendments to the bill, if not upon tbe
measure itself. In the past week efforts
were made to secure pledges of a majority of
the Senators to snpportone or another propo
sition on tbis subject, but it is understood
that they were failures, and tbat nothing
but a roll call of the Senate will definitely
determine just what character of silver bill
will pass that body.
"When this matter is out of the way a
struggle for precedence isprobable. Senator
Allison' says he will ask-to nave the legisla
tive, executive and judicial' appropriation
bill considered, Senator Piatt wants the bill
to admit Wyoming to the Union taken up,
and Senator Trye will press his shipping
bills to the attention of the 'Senate. It the
Wyoming bill should be taken up, it is
understood that the Democrats will offer a
substitute to admit Wyoming, Idaho, New
Mexico and Arizona to the Union in a body.
Bepublicans, so it is announced, will not
spend much time in argument on the bill.
They will rest the ease upon the report of
the committee in favor of the passage of the
bill.
The remaining'appropriation bills are to
be vigorously pushed in the House this
week, In pursuance of the plan agreed upon
last week, in order to have the way clear' for
action upon other matters of public import
ance. This programme will probably in
volve the practical loss of suspension Mon
day, as the sundry civil appropriation bill
comes over as 'unfinished business. The
Elections Committee wish to call up the
Mississippi contested election case of Chal
mers versus Morgan. This is one of the
cases where the committee has reported in
favor of the sitting Democratic member,
and it may act as a softening prelude-to the
angry and excited strains of the debate on
the national election bill, which is expected
to follow and close the week.

Washington, June 15. Publication
of the mutilation of the McKinley bill by
the Senate Finance Committee appears to
have arousedleading manufacturers to new
efforts to influence the committee and pre
vent the bad moral effect of even reporting a
bill with such changes as are reported. Mr.
Swank and many other Pennsylvania iron

Mr. Oliver, Mr. Chalfant, Mr. Painter

tbe Conference Committee on the principle
that six men are easier to convince than an

Philadelphia, Juno 15. The little
city of Beverly, a few miles from here, on
the banks of the Delaware, is, as far as the
law is concerned, in a state closely border
ing on socialism. The Councils, a few
weeks ago, decided by a close vote to license
six saloons. Tho Chief Executive, Mayor
Fish, is a Prohibitionist, although he was
elected on the Democratic ticket. Mayor
Fish has been notified that the saloons are
in full blast, but he says he will not inter
fere with them 00 matter how much they
sell.
The liquor men are almost worked up to
a frenzy of excitement They threaten to
have tbe Mayor impeached, and it is said
that a resolution to that effect has been
drawn up, and Councilman John Morrell
has been credited with expressing a willing
ness to offer such a resolution. The temper
ance pcopld of the town, however, pooh-pooh
this, and say that if it is offered it will not
go through. The liquor men have a major

able to muster the two-thirds vote that will
be needed to impeach tbe Mayor.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AT CHICAGO.
Ttvo Liltle Boys Instantly Killed by tin In
Coming Train.
CnioAGO, June 15. Two victims of their
own terror met a fearful death this afternoon
in full view of the hundreds of promenaders
in the Bake Front Park, Otto and Herman
Bert, aged 12 and 15, were the two unfortu
nates. They had left the parks and were
crossing the network of railway tracks
skirting the edge of Lake Michigan, when
an in-bound passenger train coming at head
long speed attracted the attention of each of
tbe lads. Both boys hesitated as to whether
they should turn back or continue on their
way.
The train struck and killed them instantly.
Herman's body was smashed to a pulp and
ascended high in the air, while Otto's was
ground under the wheels, the head rolling
aside as though off from a gnillotine. It
was some moments before the train of pleasure-seekers,
equally spell-bound with the
victims, recovered sufficiently to aid in
gathering the remains.

rSPECUL TELEOEAit TO TUB DISPATCH.)
JIanoob, Me., June 15. The Hon.
fcancis W. Hill, of Exeter, Me., the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor ot the State,
.
died this morning after a Short illness. It
was less than two weeks ago that he attended
the Democratic convention and accepted the
nomination which was tendered him unan
imously. About a week ago Mr. Hill went
to Bar Harbor as the guest of General Man
ager Payson Tucker, of the Maine Central
Eailroad. While there he was caught out
in a severe storm and contracted a cold
which developed into.acute bronchitis.
He was dangerously ill for three or four
days, but on Saturday he seemed much im
proved. This morning, however, there was
a sudden change for the worse, and he died
at 10 o'clook. Mr. Hill was trorn in .cxeter
in 1819. and lived there throughout his life.
His grandfather was a second cousin ot
George Washington.
A rAESIEB'S BOY.
Mr. Hill worked on bis father's farm until
he was 25 years old, and then ije, forsook
farming for mercantile pursuits. For 30
years past he has dealt in real es
tate and railroad stocks, and has acquired
a -very large fortune. He was educated
in the common schools. He was a very
shrewd business man andpossessed remark
able executive ability. He was for 30 years
a director in the Maine Central Eailroad,
and at the time of his death was. the largest
individual stockholder in that corporation.
For years he was a director and stockholder
in three other Maine railroads.
He was Sheriff of Penobscot county in
1855, and has filled various town offices for
many years. He was a member of the State
Senate in I860. He originally was a Whig
in politics, but when that party expired he
joined the Democratic, party, and
had acted with it ever since. For
several vears he was a member of
tbe Democratic State Committee. He
carried on tbe biggest farm in Penobscot
county and kept the largest stock of horses
and cattle owned by any individual farmer
in Maine. Last year 450 tons of hay were
cut on his farm. 'His nomination for Gov
ernor struck a popular chord, and he would
have received stronger support than many
candidates of his party.
" A SERIOUS BLOW TO THE PAETT.
His death has been a serious blow to the
nartv. The leaders don't know what to do.
A. suggestion has been made that the State
Committee put 'another candidate in' the
field, but that meets with little favor. It
might be done in an emergency, but as
there aro yet three months before the
election there is plenty ot time to select a
new candidate in a regularly called con
vention. Neither does the idea that tbe old
convention be called together again prove
acceptable to the few Democratic leaders
who could be found to-night
"That convention is as dead as its candi
date," said one. "Give us a new conven
tion." Two Governors of this State Lincoln and
Bodwell have died in office, but no one re
calls precedent for a case like this. One
objection to a new convention would be
tbat the question of license or prohibi
tion could be raised again, and a
fairer expression of the opinion of the
party obtained. This will probably lead
the friends of license to insist upon a new
convention, but even if the old one was re
convened it would be hard tojso control its
action as to prevent its expressing an opin
ion on any question of public interest it
chose to discuss. If it was so prevented the
threats of an independent anti-Prohibition
convention might now stand a chance of be
ing carried into execution.

SrECIAL TXLEOKAMTOTnSDISPATCn.l
GnEENSnuBO, June 15. The most ex
citing political contest in the history of
Westmoreland county closed yesterday with
the result in doubt. Nothing Is fully de
cided so far as Congress is concerned, bnt
the chances' are in favor of Gnffy, although
the returns are unusually full of surprises
and the estimates of the candidates are
knocked silly by the result Guffy lost
Greensbnrg by a small vote, and carried Mt
Pleasant, Byers old home, by a
decided majority. Cowan, El wood, Byeas
and Lafferty are in the lead for the Assem
bly, and will more than likely be the nomi
nees. For Treasurer, Graham leads, but
Fisher may come in on the homestretch.
Conway is nominated for Begister and Be
corder by a good majority. Maxwell leads
for Commissioner,with Martin and McKean
struggling for second place. Morrow and
Hays are nominated for County Auditors,
and Wakefield will likely be the nominee
for Coronor.
Whatever may have been done to set up
county committeemen in the interest of can
didates for Governor, it is clear, in the face
of recent returns, tbat the sentiment is over
whelmingly for Pattison, and no amount of
wire pulling can defeat the wishofthe
masses, who are exceedingly suspicious,
and fearful that some advantage may be
taken. Pattison will get the eight dele
gates from Westmoreland, not because the
people do not have a high appreciation of
the services rendered by Wallace, but they
feel that Pattison will be the stronger can-didate.-In"the
event of a bitter contest in tbe
Scranton convention the Westmoreland
delegates could go to a new man, probably
George A. Jenks.
A dispatch from Scottdale says: The
latest returns from the Democratic primaries
of yesterday materially change the result as
announced last night Fisher seems to be
away ahead in the race for Treasurer. Con
way has scored a decided victory over Laird,
his only formidable opponent for Begister
and Recorder, and Guffy is out of the woods
for Congress, as returns so far indicate the
defeat of Byers 2 to 1. The race for Legis
lature is a close one, and Elwood, Howell,
Lafferty and Byers are likely successful.
The return judges will meet to-morrow, and
the County Committee will assemble next
Friday to elect delegates to the Scranton
convention. The delegates will likely be
instructed for Pattison. The contest here
was spirited, and the Democratic turn out
was the largest ever known in tbe town at
any election. All reports indicate a big
vote everywhere in the county.

rsrECiAX. TSLIOBAU TO TICS DISPATCH.!
New Bethlehem, June 14. Democrat
ic politics in Clarion county are getting
warm. The primary elections will be held
Saturday, Juno 21, and, as a nomination on
tbe Democratic ticket is equivalent to an
election, there is a great scramble for the
various offices to be filled. The fight for
Prothonotary seems to attract the most at
tention. The race is between ex-Sheriff
Shannon, of Clarion borough, and W. A.
Sipler, of St. Petersburg. To a disinterested
party it would look as if Shan
non had the call. For Assembly there
are six candidates. A. W. Smiley, or Fox
burg, who won the reputation of being one
of the brightest and best members of tbe
Democratic Bide io the last House, seems be
far in the lead, with the other five following
in a hunch. The woods are full of candi
dates for Connty Commissioner, Treasurer,
Begister and Becorder.
On tho gubernational question Pattison
seems to have a walk over and will no doubt
get tho delegates.

ISPECIAI. TELEQEAM TO XlIE DISPATCH.
Someeset, June 15. The Bepublican
primaries last Satnrday brought out the
largest vote cast since 1878. There was in
tense excitement between,the stalwart and
independent factions. Hon. Edward Scull,
for Congress, has 1,000 majority over D. J.
Horner, and Scull and the stalwarts carry
everything. The delegates elected to tho
State Convention are J. D. Swank and Ed

and he will have an influence as to the way
they will vote.
The Independents under General EToontz,
Captain Harrison and Horner ran as Mon

complimentary vote for Osborne, but will
vote as Scull desires when needed. N. B.

Mrs. Adam Wuchter, of South Whitehall,

She has been in this condition for eight
months. She is now barely alive, but the
doctors say she may exist while there is a

ISrXCIAI. TXXEORAM TO TITS DISPATCH.!
Allentown, June 15. Lehigh county
has within its borders a remarkable fasting
woman in the person of Mrs. Adam
Wnchter, of South Whitehall, five miles
prom here, who for eight months has taken
fractically no nourishment, and has not
tasted a drop of water since Good Friday,
April 4, 71 days ago. Her case is puzzling
the local physicians here beyond measure
and is attracting wide curiosity among the
medical fraternity.
BAEELT ALIVE.
She is barely alive and no more. Sixteen
months ago she was taken ill of a mysterious
disorder. Dr. G. W. Sieger was called in,
but he was unable to make an accurate
diagnosis of her disease. Drs. W. H. Seip,
G. T. Fox and others were successively con
sulted, bnt they, too, were at loss wbat to
make of tbe strange malady. Eightmonths
ago they ceased administering medicines,
though they have continued their visits
regularlarly on account of tbe extraordinary
features of the,case. Since then the poor
woman has only occasionally been able to
take a teacup full of liquid nourishment,
and no solid food whatever. Mrs. Wnchter
suffers pain in her head almost constantly
and is subject to violent spasms. She is 33
years of age, but owing to her extreme ema
ciation she looks like a woman of 60 or 70.
The flesh of her neck is a mass of wrinkles
and the lines are drawn distressingly about
her mouth and chin. Her hands are merely
skin and bones and a3 white as snow, and
the veins in them stand out with unusual
prominence.
TErBSTY, BUT CANNOT DRINK.
She complains almost constantly of thirst,
but every time an attempt is made to give
her water she is seized with choking spasms
and her teeth grate together in convulsions.
Nevertheless, she bears her sufferings with
true Christian fortitude, and finds great
comfort in repeating to herself texts of
Scripture and singing hymns and in receiv
ing the visits of her pastor, the Eev. Will
iam S. A. Ziegenfuss.
Dr. Seip says sho may live as longas there
remains a pound of flesh on her bones. Her
husband nurses the faster night and day, V
and patiently welcomes the hosts of callers
who, through curiosity besiege the hous?
to look at the patient.

tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.!
New Yoek, June 15. Governor Abbett
has signed the bill known as the anti-Pink-erton
bill, which was passed by the New
Jersey Legislature tbe last week of its ses
sion. The main object of the bill is to
prevent the employment of Pinkerton de
tectives to quell strikers. It is a sweeping
act, and forbids the Sheriff of a county, the
Mayor of a city, or any other person author
ized by law to appoint special deputy sher
iffs, special constables, marshals, policemen,
or other police officers from appointing as
such any person who shall not be a citizen
of tbe State, and no person shall act as a
peace officer without having an appoint
ment in writing from a person authorized
by law to appoint him.
Tbe secoad.section of the law makes it a
misdemeanor, punishable with a year's im
prisonment in State prison and $500 fine for
any person to exercise, in any way, the
functions of a peace officer without the au
thority provided for in the first sec
tion. This, it is said, will ruin the
New Jersey business of the private
detective agencies of this city and Phila
delphia, unless their employes are citizens
of New Jersev. Several years ago a boy
was shot and killed by a Pinkerton detec
tive, who. with many others, was employed
by a railroad company during a strike in
Jersey City, and the law is partly the effect
of the excitement caused by that affair
among workingmen and others.
DISEASED MEAT MARKETED.
A Discovery Tbat Lamp-Jawed Cattle are
Slanahtored and Sold.
Chicago, June 15. With inspectors
known to bo watching in the slaughter
house of Jacob Ncs3 to prevent the sur
reptitious preservation of the meat of
lump-jawed cattle, tho forbidden prac
tice was discovered last night in
full blast so, at least, the representatives
of the city Health Department declare. The
inference drawn is that at cheap prices but
all profit, the tainted meat wa3 to be mar
keted through peddlers In the artisan dis
tricts in Chicago.
Apparently each elevator load of meat,
before being hoisted to the upper floors of
the slaughter house for destruction in
rendering vats, was for a moment low
ered to the basement and tbe hind
quarters, the most valuable meat, secretly
unloaded, after which the elevator was again
started upward to the rendering vats. Just
2,700 pounds of the alleged diseased meat
was found hidden away in the basement
The discovery was made by city officials
and is being used by them to support their
oft-made charge that the State inspectors are
remiss if not corrupt, and that the inspec
tion should be done by the city.
CAUGHT BY A SMART CABMAN.
A Providence, R. I., Chinese Laundrymon
Abducts a Yonng Girl.
New Yoek, June 15. Asharpcabdilver
this morning was the means of arresting a
Chinaman, Sam Kee, who arrived here to
day from Providence, on the Stonington line
steamer with 15-year-old Annie Lawrence of
the same place. The heathen hired the cab
and was driven with the girl to the police
station by the astute cabbie, in place of the
Mott street address given by the Chinaman.
The girl broke down and told her story to
the police. Her father and mother are dead
and she worked in a wire factory. Sam en
ticed her into his laundry at Page and Bich
raond streets, Providence, and afterwards in
duced her to come to this city on the prom
ise of diamonds. At police court the China
man was held on the charge of abduction.
The girl was given over to the Children's"
